F. One time I went to a friend's house and we ate m&ms. My friend took and handful of m&ms and separated them by color. This is an example of her segregating the m&ms by color.

G. The word segregate relates to a movie I've seen called Ruby Bridges. It was about how white and black children weren't allowed to go to school together. Black and white children had to be separated because parents with white children didn't want their kids playing and learning with black children. The movie focuses around one specific girl, named Ruby Bridges and how she overcomes the segregation and goes to school with white children.
